Dinner tonight - or last night.

Went out with some dance friends last night.

We went to a fun little pub that doesn't really like to do food. They encourage people to go to nearby restaurants to bring back food. Since we'd originally been planning to go to a potluck we took our food with us. We had a great antipasto platter with lots of really good olives, crackers and lots of greek dips.

We had a table near the front of the pub. Everyone coming in and out stopped to look at our food - it was the best-looking (and tasting) food in the place last night.

beef/pea/noodle kind of stew
it was very tasty

porky soup - leftover bbq "country ribs" (what?) that had a nice rub and sauce a while ago. So, bits of pork with a some tomato and onion and peas the odd greens and mad. pink rice in a porky broth. Good but I'm getting weary of it.

I'm really looking forward to new peas.

yea Risi a Bisi with fresh sugar pods.

We wont have much of a pea crop. Its already April FOOLS and I don't have my peas in . We still have a bit of snow on the garden beds

ribs at Gabby's

the ribs were very good but the best part of the meal was the coleslaw - it was really peppery

honey garlic sausages, thick slices of vidalia onion and kumato on the grill

a wedge of potato burek on the side

this is summer living!

5 hours in scorching heat playing at Capt Hiram's Sandbar. Gallons of ice water and I'm exhausted.
Dinner is rice and butter beans. And a Sierra Nevada IPA to rehydrate.

SW chicken salad from Schlotzsky's.

meh.

Is that a deli chain now?
I ate at one in NY city

Yeah. It started here in Austin. Their flagship store is about 2 blocks from WF's flagship store.

There are some things from there that are really good. I don't really like their Original sandwich, but there are other things, like the pastraimi and swiss, or beef and provolone that are nice.

Their pizza's suck donkey dong. Do not go there.

I had a BOGO coupon and got 2 salads and ate with a neighbor.

I think the fact my tomatoes and cucumbers are all coming in now has me pretty vegged out, so salad probably wasn't what my body wanted.

Filet tenderloin medium topped with shrimp and a cajun bernaise. each was wonderful on its own, together, overload.
And french fires, hand cut double fried. The dipping was between ketchup and the bernaise.

Aw! I am so glad to see you Alex!

I don't know if I have had double fried french fries. It all sounds amazing.

I made Risotto with grilled chicken. I chopped up the chicken, chopped up fresh mozzarella into cubes, cherry tomatoes and fresh basil and stirred it in. Amazingly fresh tasting.

Happy taste buds tonight.

Good lord. I shall not.

Sunshine to you mismi.

Home made linguine noodle (No, I am not responsible for the fresh noodles), added to a pan that just sauteed shrimp, in garlic, shallot, olive oil, butter, and a splash of what ever the wine was on my refrigerator door. Diced roma tomatoes, and bread crumbs added to finish.

I made chicken and sausage jambalaya last night. It was pretty good. Not quite spicy enough. Used my hot sauce on the back end. The boys ate it up though.

Watermelon on the back porch for desert.

Love summer.

I made a chocolate eclair cake for tonight though. I am looking forward to it. It had to set overnight so it wasn't ready.

Not sure what we are having for dinner tonight yet.

classic!

turkey burger with Italian seasonings

strawberries with vanilla sugar

simple and just fine

Ha! Love it when I do things like that.

They are in the oven.
Here is a neat link.

I agree. Ribs should not fall off the bone.

I have some medium white potatoes. I am attempting a better double fried french fry and going with a medium starch potato. I am going by what I read. I have had end results where the french fry is crispy on outside golden, and soft mashy almost inside. My attempts are never consistent that way, so now I am investigating what I need to do to.
